Dear parents, I am a 35year old nanny from Poland. I graduated from Oklahoma City University with a dual degree BA in cello performance and liberal arts and obtained my MA in Public International Law/ Human Rights degree from John Jay college. I have eight years of experience working as a nanny and I can provide multiple references upon request. Through college, I took classes in child development and had various opportunities to work as a tutor as well as a full-time and part-time babysitter to families with children of varying ages, including newborns. I am responding to your advertisement because I am a very honest, responsible, loving, and warm person, truly committed to any job I do but especially those in childcare. I have found so much joy working closely with many families and helping their children develop. I am looking to find a nice family to work with occasionally and help out as much as possible; and always with a smile. I have been told many times how much parents value my preparation for work. I always come up with different activities for the children to keep them mentally stimulated but also to ensure they're having fun with their imaginations and creativity! In a typical day, the children would participate in Arts and Crafts projects, music lessons, story-telling, and many safe and fun games. I always make my activity plans based on what children are interested in, as well as the activities that their parents prefer. I believe in the importance of routine, but as always, I put the parents concerns first. In addition, I pride myself on always helping with cooking, laundering, and cleaning. I hope I get the chance to meet with you and I thank you so much for your time and consideration. If You have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards, Agata
Hi! I just moved to NYC from California. My name is Haley and I am a 26 years old with bachelor degree in psychology and a minor in Education from UCSC. I have over 9 years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. I also have a elementary school teaching credential. I have worked at summer camps and after school programs as well.
“Haley has such a nice demeanor and I felt very at ease when she was with my 2 and 4 year old for the evening. Would definitely recommend. ”
Hi, I'm Victoria! I have 8+ years of babysitting and nannying experience in NYC and have recently re-entered the babysitting world after getting my MBA! I work full time in finance but have been missing getting to work with kids. Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to NYC to pursue a BFA in dance and have since transitioned to the business and finance realm. Some background on my experience: I have been babysitting for the past 10 years and I love to work with kids. I have worked with children from ages 2 months to 12 years old. I have also taught creative movement classes and dance to kids of all ages, so I am very accustomed to high energy and can match that of your child. I have also tutored children and worked in classroom settings. I am a very active and enthusiastic person, which I love to share with the kids I work with. I love to babysit because growing up, my babysitters had a positive influence on me and became very important to me, so I want to give others that experience and be a fun, inspiring babysitter and positive role model. I do not treat this job as daily work, I treat each family as my own and make sure the family and children receive the best care possible! Additionally, I have done volunteer work with reading to preschoolers, helping elementary school students after school with tutoring, and volunteering at daycare services for kids. A fun fact about me is that I love art, reading, and pets! I hope to get to know you and your family in the future!

Hi! My name is Erna and I am currently a nursing student in my fourth year at CUNY Hunter College. I have lived in Brooklyn for my entire life and know the different neighborhoods very well. I have 4 younger siblings, two of them being twins which definitely plays a role in my experience and passion for taking care of children. I enjoy babysitting and being around children, having worked with families of all ages for over 5-6 years since I was 14. I have babysat newborns, toddlers, and older children, and even for families with 2-3 children and pets. I also handles household tasks like cleaning, cooking, pick ups, and errands. I enjoy helping, teaching, and having fun with children. Some things about me is that I am fluent in Serbo-Croatian, I love traveling, trying new foods, I have a cat named Milo, and I like playing sports. I would describe myself as energetic and outgoing.
“Thank you so much Erna. My kiddos adored you. ”
